Spain links suspect in 9/11 plot to Baghdad David Rose Sunday March 16, 2003 The Observer An alleged terrorist accused of helping the 11 September conspirators was invited to a party by the Iraqi ambassador to Spain under his al-Qaeda nom de guerre, according to documents seized by Spanish investigators. Yusuf Galan, who was photographed being trained at a camp run by Osama bin Laden, is now in jail, awaiting trial in Madrid. The indictment against him, drawn up by investigating judge Baltasar Garzon, claims he was 'directly involved with the preparation and carrying out of the attacks ... by the suicide pilots on 11 September'. Evidence of Galan's links with Iraqi government officials came to light only recently, as investigators pored through more than 40,000 pages of documents seized in raids at the homes of Galan and seven alleged co-conspirators. The Spanish authorities have supplied copies to lawyers in America, and this week the documents will form part of a dossier to be filed in a federal court in Washington, claiming damages of approximately $100 billion on behalf of more than 2,500 11 September victims. The lawsuit lists Saddam's government in Iraq as one of its principal defendants, claiming it provided 'material support' to the al-Qaeda terrorists. Under US law, the victims' families do not have to prove active direction or involvement in the details of the 9/11 conspiracy by Iraq, only that Saddam's regime gave al-Qaeda more general assistance in the knowledge that it was planning to attack American targets.
The WHAT? The paper that had the "fake" spy memo? Now they're a reliable source? I *hope* this story is true. I really do, I want to 9/11 plotters punished, and if Saddam is one of them, then have at him. The only problem is a little matter of every other bit of evidence against Saddam so far having been forged like a samurai sword, is the thing. Just a little reminder. Let's see how this shakes out.
Re: Re: Spain links suspect in 9/11 plot to Baghdad That seems to be iraqs strong suit forging documents. They have traced al-Qaeda forged documents back to Iraq.
Once again if this is true, it is interesting. The way I look at it is this, if it was true, Blair, Bush, etc. would all be on TV tonight talking about it. If it is fake, then it will go under the radar.
